I carry an extra 30lb. tank so I have never run out of propane, and I don’t camp much in that kind of cold weather. Between the electric heaters and heat pump we can keep it 75 all day long. I supposedly have the “cold weather” package but not sure how much it really helps. Stay warm!

I most certainly will. The thermostat as is is light years better than the Dometic but that would just be icing on the cake and help rationalize their high price.

Has anyone considered viewing the list of included options or the owners manual?

Mike, If you are talking about their "4 seasons" package, it does make quite a difference. I've been in -5 degree temps for extended periods and never had issues. Water is turned off at campground in October, so I have to refill my fresh water tank manually but with the tank heaters and electric heat from fireplace, heat pump and a supplemental ceramic heater inside, I very seldom need to use the gas furnace. I purchased a 4 sensor wireless thermometer and put one in the underbelly, one in the basement pass through, one outside and one inside. Underbelly and basement never got below about 48 degrees and I was keeping the inside mid 60's with all electric heat. Heat pump really only circulates the heat through the coach when temps are that cold. Where I am located, there isn't any place to get a tank filled close by, so I carry extra propane just in case. Never needed to use is so far. Once you break the chill and get her heated up, it keeps warm very well.
